[QUOTE="Brandonm2, post: 323198, member: 2095"] Nobody is saying that EVERY calf out of ANY high birth wt EPD sire is going to be too big or for that matter that a LOW birth wt EPD sire NEVER has a calf that is too big. All the EPD tells anybody is that a bull with a 4.9 birth wt EPD is MORE likely too sire calves on the big end than a bull with a lower birth wt EPD and for that reason I would not use him on a set of heifers. 75 lb for an 1885 lb cow is less than 4% oF her total bodyweight....are they sure there isn't another calf or two hiding out in there somewhere??....just kidding.
